President’s Report January 16, 2019

The winter of 2019 has finally found us. Ice and snow are here for a while.

Speaking of ice- remember that the ice on the lake can look safe but it may not be. Watch for soft spots around the docks and anywhere someone has been ice fishing. Make sure it is thick enough before going out on it.

Steve and his crew are busy getting settled into their new building. The trees behind the building have been planted and the fence will be coming soon.

Work on the ladies locker room has begun. I was amazed at how big the room was when everything was out of there. The restroom will be ADA compliant. I think everyone will love the layout and the amount of room there is once it’s done.

The board spoke with Mr. Rick Miller who is going to publish a community magazine concerning the Lake Cable community. We have no control on this magazine or its contents. He is doing this on his own –and will be speaking to residents to get input. Just an FYI from me.

I would like to thank everyone who has paid their assessment in full and also all who have paid their dues for the year.

We are looking for a great year on the lake. We need everyone’s cooperation along the way.

Remember it’s a privilege to live at the lake- not a right. Respect the lake and it will respect you back.

Lots of things happened in January. We had the 25 year old plus carpets cleansed and they still look good. Hard to justify changing them for that reason but it will be considered as planning goes for future updates to the clubhouse.

Steve hand his crew were busy demoing the Women’s locker room for remodeling. The more we tore out the more we found needs replaced. We have a plan and are putting the finishing touches on it so we can get going. I think the women will be happy with the results. Not only will it be more attractive but will be handicap accessible. In addition to the upgrade of the locker room we are making room for a “maintenance area”. We still need space here at the clubhouse for a utility sink and storage for mops, brooms, sweepers and items used on a daily basis. May 25th may be four months away but to us around here it seems much closer.

Steve is putting finishing touches on the new maintenance building. The landscape buffer was installed a couple of weeks ago and looks great. Fencing may or may not be in by the time you read this.

This coming summer you will be able to see the clubhouse from the lake. Not sure what the view will be but there won’t be a dumpster. Things are taking shape but getting water to drain to the lake has always been a challenge. It will even be a greater challenge for the new patio.

Up to the day I wrote this we had 250 paid up members. If you have not paid your dues by the time you read this, sorry you’re late. Thanks for extra $100.

I talked with representatives from Dominion Ohio concerning their plan to replace the gas lines in the lake. They considered going around the lake either north or south and concluded there were too many hurdles to go either direction. Their latest plan involves rerouting the lines from East Blvd up lower Stuber Dr to Crappie Commons. Down the commons to the lake then tunnel 45 feet under the lake all the way to their West Blvd property. They are in the process of drilling test holes and will let us know what develops.

Are you participating in the Polar Bear Plunge? I am! I’m going to sponsor someone crazy enough to go in the water in February. Did it myself a long time ago and vowed at the time, NEVER AGAIN!

Tickets for the Fish Club Reverse Raffle are going fast, don’t wait, get your ticket now! It’s always a good time.

Finally, brick sales are going well. Don’t be left out. When you bring friends to the beach and they ask, “Where’s your brick?” Don’t be embarrassed, point to it.
